<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>The 7th Annual CACE (Canadian Association of Counsel to Employers) conference in Vancouver wrapped up on Saturday afternoon. It was probably the best labour and employment law conference I have attended, with an incredibly high-calibre roster of speakers. Next year's conference will be held in Niagara Falls on September 22-24. </p>
<p>Union-side labour and employment lawyers have their own organization - the <a href="http://www.call-acams.com/guests">Canadian Association of Labour Lawyers</a> - and annual conference. Their conference was held in Saskatoon this year, with the 2011 conference scheduled for May in Vancouver.</p>

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>I attended the BC CLE<em> New Civil Rules 2010</em> conference yesterday and today. The new rules come into force on July 1, 2010. They are the culmination of a justice reform initiative that commenced in 2002.</p>
<p>The BC Ministry of Attorney General notes the following about the new rules on its website: </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The new rules are meant to make the civil and family justice systems more responsive, accessible and efficient. They were developed through extensive research and broad consultation and were finalized by the <a href="http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/BRDO/boardView.asp?boardNum=108307" title="Rules Revision Committee">Rules Revision Committee</a>, a committee of senior judges, and experienced private and public sector lawyers.</p>
<p>The new rules will significantly impact on the manner in which BC Supreme Court civil trials - including wrongful dismissal lawsuits - are filed, prosecuted and defended. This is likely why this was one of the best attended CLEs I have ever been to.

<p>The topics covered at the conference were as follows:</p>
